So Haiti's official language is French, even if most people speak Creole. So I am resolutely deciding to learn French. I still think Spanish is the focus, and I need to really master Spanish, but I want to learn the basics of French and be able to effectively communicate the basics! This is exciting stuff, I went to the bookstore today to look into getting a French phrase book and maybe some CD's, but it would be great if anyone speaks French and would like to help me learn. I am sure there are others on our team that would also like to learn French, so as the need grows, I will get more desperate in finding someone to teach me the basics... Only
175 days until our flight leaves LAX for Port Au Prince!
Some prayer requests:
- Creativity in raising money for the trip
- Vision and anointing for the team
- Protection physically and financially for our team
- Protection physically and financially for the Hands and Feet orphanage
I will update this as I learn more about what we're doing and what the needs of the orphanage are.

I'm so excited to help. French is a way fun language, and because you already know Spanish, it should be even easier. Je sais que les enfants dans Haiti vont adorez-vous!
